I WAS appalled to read of the Post office plan to make the price of stamps prohibitive very soon.

Having spent well over 40 years teaching young children and ensuring literacy, I have no intention of communicating in future by email, using bad spelling and incorrect grammar in order to stay in touch with friends.

And what about the so-called “Christmas spirit of goodwill”? It doesn’t look as though pensioners like me will be sending cards at all, because in order to do so, we would have to stop eating. And what is our government doing to help? Shame on you.
